【全球动态】氢重型汽车加气站在新南威尔士州开放

澳大利亚首个重型车辆加氢站在新南威尔士州开放。

Coregas的 加氢站 将促进零排放氢燃料电池卡车在 伊拉瓦拉-肖尔黑文（ I llawarra-Shoalhaven ） 地区的引入，未来使用氢重型车辆的行业合作伙伴将被鼓励使用氢气站，该 加氢站 每天可以快速为10辆汽车加油。

虽然澳大利亚的可再生能源革命正在进行中，但交通运输方面仍然为减排（革命）提供一个大部分尚未开发的机会。与电动汽车的电池不同，氢燃料电池电动汽车(FCEV)为重型汽车提供了更轻、更远的解决方案，并结合了快速加油和高载荷能力。

耗资200万美元的 加氢站 的建设得到了新南威尔士州政府50万美元的赠款。

加氢站 是一种利用现有基础设施的低成本商业解决方案，旨在为未来的氢燃料运输网络奠定基础。

Coregas澳大利亚执行总经理Alan Watkins表示，将 加氢站 与Coregas现有的氢气生产工厂和位于 肯布拉港 的散装氢气运输中心相结合，可以提高运营效率和成本效率。

  Wa tkins 表示:“ 加氢站 将允许氢燃料卡车进入伊拉瓦拉-肖尔黑文地区的大部分地区，并到达悉尼大都会。”

Coregas表示，将其柴油卡车车队转变为 氢 燃料电池电动汽车（ FCEV ） 是该公司脱碳路线图的基石。

“Coregas的柴油卡车车队每年行驶超过600万公里，”   Wa tkins 说。

“这相当于在世界各地驾驶150次，其占Coregas碳排放量的54%。”

新南威尔士州地区部长塔拉·莫里亚蒂(Tara Moriarty)表示，州政府很自豪能够支持这一开创性项目，为澳大利亚首批氢动力重型公路车辆提供支持。

莫里亚蒂表示:“重型公路运输是一个主要的碳排放部门，随着今天Coregas 氢气站的开放， 肯布拉港 正引领着一个更加多样化的能源未来。”

“该项目是实现当地交通运输业脱碳的重要第一步，也将证明在新南威尔士州地区更广泛地使用氢动力重型车辆的可行性。”

与项目合作伙伴Haskel合作，氢气站将把现有Coregas工厂的氢气压缩到500bar，从而能够供应到 氢 燃料电池电动汽车 （FCEV）上的350bar的气瓶中。氢气分配系统具有排放400kg燃料电池级氢气的能力。

哈斯克尔氢业务发展经理(亚太地区)Stewart Anderson表示:“氢系统利用我们世界领先的压缩、储存和分配设备，专门为肯布拉港设计和优化。”

Hydrogen heavy vehicle refuelling station opens in NSW

Australia’s first hydrogen refuelling station for heavy vehicles has been opened in New South Wales.

The H2Station, by Coregas, will facilitate the introduction of zero emissions hydrogen fuel cell trucks to the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region and future industry partners using H2 heavy vehicles will be encouraged to access the H2Station, which can rapidly refuel up to ten vehicles daily.

While Australia’s renewable energy revolution is underway, the transport sector remains a largely untapped opportunity for emissions reductions. Unlike batteries for electric vehicles, Fuel Cell Electrical Vehicles (FCEV) powered by hydrogen deliver heavy vehicles a lighter, longer-distance solution combined with fast refuelling and high payload capability.

Construction of the $2 million H2Station has been assisted by a $500,000 New South Wales Government grant.

The H2Station is a low-cost commercial solution capitalising on existing infrastructure aimed to seed a future network of hydrogen fuelled transport.

Coregas Australia Executive General Manager, Alan Watkins, said that locating H2Station alongside Coregas’ existing hydrogen production plant and transport hub for bulk hydrogen in Port Kembla created operational and cost efficiencies. 

“The H2Station will allow hydrogen trucks to access the majority of the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region and reach metropolitan Sydney,” Mr Watkins said. 

Coregas said that transitioning its diesel truck fleet to FCEVs is a cornerstone of the company’s decarbonisation roadmap. 

“Coregas’ diesel truck fleet travels more than six million kilometres every year,” Mr Watkins said.  

“That’s equivalent to driving 150 times around the world, which contributes to 54 per cent of Coregas’ carbon emissions.”

Minister for Regional New South Wales, Tara Moriarty, said the State Government was proud to support this pioneering project to refuel Australia’s first hydrogen-powered heavy road vehicles.

“Heavy road transport is a major carbon-emitting sector and Port Kembla is leading the way towards a more diverse energy future following today’s opening of the Coregas H2Station,” Ms Moriarty said.

“This project is an important first step towards decarbonising the local transport industry that will also demonstrate the feasibility of using hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles more broadly in regional New South Wales.”

Working with project partner Haskel, the H2Station will compress hydrogen from the existing Coregas plant up to 500bar, enabling supply into the 350bar cylinders on board the FCEV. The hydrogen dispensing system has the capacity to discharge 400kg of fuel cell grade hydrogen.

Haskel Hydrogen Business Development Manager (APAC), Stewart Anderson, said, “The hydrogen system utilises our world-leading compression, storage and dispensing equipment specifically designed and optimised for Port Kembla.”
